Life Lately

In the last few months I have...

Celebrated my Love's Birthday with party hats and scotch.

Experienced my first real flooded apartment. 

Spoiler alert!! It was awful.

We even had to move our bed into our living room for about a week while the carpet was being repaired.

 Ugh. Such a pain.

Chopped my hair off to donate to Panteene's Beautiful Lengths Program.

Explored some of the beautiful outdoors that Austin has to offer with new friends. 

Some of our friends from back home came into town for a visit. We took them to some of our favorite spots (the park and eateries mostly).

And we also took them to see some things that even we hadn't experienced yet!

(The Congress Bats, Salt Lick Texas BBQ)

I finally got around to enjoying our new pool.

It's phenomenal. BTW.

I joined Tone It Up's bikini series again this year and becoming best frenemies with the treadmill upstairs. 

And of course I can't forget the oodles of Ellie Bean cuddles. 

Those are the best.

This Weekend

This weekend I.....

 Made my first ever Tone It Up protein pancakes. 

They were fantastic.

 Took the dog to Zilker Park for some throw ball.

Walked to Birds and got the Man a much needed hair cut.

Walked around Congress and visited a few thrift shops.

Also, we just happened to come across this sign on the way home.

On Star Wars day nonetheless.

We visited the Pecan Street Festival and drank wine and beer while checking out the booths.

Oh, and there was a petting zoo.

Obviously it was the best part. 

My favorites were this kangaroo baby. (Joey)

 And of course the Alpaca. 

Always the Alpaca.

 I still liked it despite the no chasing rule.

Had dinner at Rio's Brazilian.

It's always always delicious.

Then of course we went to one of the wonderfully hipster bars on the East Side.

After my run on Cinco De Mayo I enjoyed some coconut water in my wine glass. 

To make it fancier.

Obviously. 

Not pictured are the fish tacos and guac that we devoured. 

Like animals. 

Because it was Cinco De Mayo.
